Since judgment of geographical slant requires the use of both optical and postural information, such judgments were used to determine whether intermodal relationships affect children’s perception. First, third, and fifth graders made judgments of geographical slant of surfaces depicted in photographs either with or without postural inclination. The results indicate the existence of a linear mec...

for providing the VR{models used in this experiments. The authors thank Pavel Zahorik for comments and suggestions on an earlier draft of this manuscript. We are grateful to Scott Yu for providing the 3D model of our virtual environments lab shown in Fig. 1. Abstract. We have investigated the role of geographical slant in simple navigation and spatial memory tasks, using a computer graphics tow...

poor stand establishment of canola (brassica napus l.) under flatland mechanized planting and crust-forming soil is a major problem for farmers in central iran. previous research there showed that irrigated cotton emergence on crust-forming soils under flatland planting can be significantly improved using a double-disk planter with zero-pressure press wheel tires and no crust-breaking. in that ...

In this paper, we study radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite para-Sasakian manifolds giving some non-trivial examples of these submanifolds. Integrability conditions of distributions D and RadTM on radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite pa...

Inclined curves or so-called general helices are well-known curves in the classical differential geometry of space curves [9] and we refer to the reader for recent works on this type of curves [6, 12]. Recently, Izumiya and Takeuchi have introduced the concept of slant helix in Euclidean 3-space E saying that the normal lines makes a constant angle with a fixed direction [7]. They characterize ...

We consider a curve α = α(s) in Minkowski 3-space E31 and denote by {T,N,B} the Frenet frame of α. We say that α is a slant helix if there exists a fixed direction U of E31 such that the function 〈N(s), U〉 is constant. In this work we give characterizations of slant helices in terms of the curvature and torsion of α. MSC: 53C40, 53C50

Purpose Bi-slant submanifolds of S -manifolds are introduced, and some examples these presented. Design/methodology/approach Some properties D i -geodesic -umbilical bi-slant examined. Findings The Riemannian curvature invariants computed, results discussed with the help invariants. Originality/value topic is original, manuscript has not been submitted to any other journal.

Fatigue crack growth can be strongly influenced by crack closure, i. e., the contacting of the opposing faces of a fatigue crack above the minimum load in a loading cycle. This crack closure shields the crack tip from the full stress field, but different views are held regarding the extent of this shielding. The type of closure, whether it be plasticity-induced, or roughness-induced may also pl...
